  • Tell me risks doc!
    Because the PRP is made from the patient’s own blood, the risks are minimal to none. Common risks include mild bleeding at site of injection, tiny bit of discomfort and mild swelling at the site of injection.
  • How confident are you in your product?
    One of the factors that determine results is the concentration of PRP. We use Eclipse PRP preparation instruments. These tools allow us to achieve a concentration of PRP that is more concentrated than any other products available at this time. Therefore from a product preparation point of view, we are confident that this is the best that can be delivered to our patients at this time.
  • How is PRP made?
    We take the patient’s blood is a small vial and spin it in a specialized centrifuge. This causes the platelets and growth factors to separate from rest of the blood. This is then extracted in a specialized way to form the PRP
  • How can my PRP help my hair?
    Due to the growth factors in the PRP, it can stimulate dormant hair follicles at the site where PRP is applied.
